Chota Kailash

Adi Kailash Dham, Bhimtal is world-renowned for its religious and mythological importance. It is said that an eternal holy fire (Akhanda Dhuni) has been burning here since the Satyuga (the first of the four Yugas in Hindu cosmology). The reason for this eternal flame is believed to be that Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati spent a day here during the Satyuga. This place is considered one of Lord Shiva’s most beloved abodes.

It is believed that Lord Shiva has visited this place not only in Satyuga but in every era (Yuga), which is why it is also called Chhota Kailash Dham (Mini Kailash).

According to mythological stories, during the Treta Yuga, when the war between Lord Ram and Ravan was taking place, Lord Shiva witnessed the battle from this very spot. Furthermore, during the Dwapar Yuga, it is said that the Pandava brothers also visited this place.

Special Significance of Shivratri at Chhota Kailash, Bhimtal –
During the Hindu months of Sawan (Shravan) and Magh, the number of devotees increases greatly, as these are considered especially auspicious months for Lord Shiva. In particular, the festival of Maha Shivratri, which is one of Lord Shiva’s most revered festivals, holds great importance at this temple.

On Shivratri, a grand fair is held at Chhota Kailash. Devotees from far and wide come to offer prayers and worship. Many devotees also stay awake through the night, observing Jagran (night vigil) in devotion to Lord Shiva.

Some even stand with folded hands in front of the eternal Dhuni (sacred flame) throughout the night, praying for blessings. If their hands open, they are respectfully removed from the front of the flame. It is believed that anyone who worships the Shivlinga here and asks for a boon, will surely have their wish fulfilled. When their desires are granted, devotees offer a silver umbrella (chhatra) as a mark of gratitude.
